Guarded Gradient-Based Activation Steering of Shutdown Responses in Qwen3.5-0.8B: A Minimum-Step Policy

arXiv:2609.30326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Activation steering changes a model's internal activations during inference without updating its weights, but a useful intervention must determine both how and when to steer. Motivated by the AI-safety concern that a model expected to accept shutdown…
